I'm writing a paper on Ancient Egypt and it's effect on modern architecture. I need some ideas. The pyramids have inspired a Las Vegas casino The Luxor, A sports complex at Memphis Tennessee, and The Lourve's glass entranceway. Obelisks design inspired the design of the washington monument and can be found courtyards and gardens of today. Egyptian motif can be found pretty much everywhere.
Any ideas or input
please help!

There is ashopping mall somewhere in England whoch is Egyptian themed with a wall with what looks like an acurate representation of a temple wall scene but 1 of the gods has an electic drill!
Does anyone know where it is?

Thanks for the info.
The Trafford Center sounds neat. Thanks for the link Daughter_Of_Seti.
Toilets with hieroglyphics on the side. I don't yet have one of those. Maybe I'll paint my bathroom next. The links and info really helped, so Thanks alot. Going to be an interesting paper. But now I have more places I want to see! Thanks again everybody

You're welcome. The decoations at the toilets was very interesting! But what's even more funny is they even have coke machines with scenes from the tomb of Nefertari on them.

Now I really need to see this place. I wouldn't mind having a Coke machine with tomb scenes
but my house is already overflowing with Egyptian furniture, kic-nacks and misc. stuff. Maybe I can find an Egyptian refigerator somewhere or paint one myself!
The Trafford Center is another place I have to add to my places of sites to see. I'm afraid that list is getting rather long.
My paper made an A+ due to its ususal nature.
I appreciate the knowledge ya'll shared with me.
I just now have the urge to paint more things.

There are many legends about the destruction of the great library in Alexandria 2000 years ago, but much less historical fact about the building itself has survived. Three libraries may have coexisted in the ancient city, but scant data remains about their location, layout, holdings, organization, administration, or physical structure.,.....

I will check out my 1923 Peace dollar to see what the figure on there looks like, and I will check some others I have. But it will be up to others, to hopefully, post some coins with these images on themThis is going to get really interestingI only have them on ancient coins.Ginger
